The
third issue of Darth Vader was solicited with a cover of an Asian woman
with two black droids similar to C-3P0 and R2-D2. The cover alone pushed the
issue into a second printing. Darth Vader needs the help of rogue archaeologist
Doctor Aphra abroad the Ark Angel who has Triple Zero and BT-1 an assassin droid.
Vader needs private resources and troops with unquestioning loyalty so Aphra
offers to take him to a droid factory on Geonosis.
